WOW! I guess everyone is passionate about this topic! I must be lucky, my friends and family have all enjoyed my new love, the Tiki Bar. My friend named it for us, we have the "Lizard Lounge". Very appropriate considering the amount of gecko poo I clean up out there. I also like the play on words!

I did one thing a little different, I had some great drinks I wanted to try out, but wasn't sure how my company would like them. So at each get-together I pick one drink to be the "Special" for the night. When the first round gets made, I offer the special, or whatever else they want. Then I also only spend a little, getting the garnish for only one drink ready. I keep all the toys ready and can improvise any drink garnish.

Of course I live in Hawaii, and my house has a lanai with a view of Kaneohe Bay and the world famous Coconut Island where parts of Gilligan's Islands were filmed. Very inspiring!

Also, if you want to get your guest to wear their leis, you can tell them that in Hawaii it is considered impolite to remove your lei in the presence of the giver...

Anyway, I invite any TCers who visit Hawaii to come over to the Lizard Lounge. We promise to not call anyone a sissy, or make them drink beer, unless they so desire!

ALOHA!
